Jenkinson was supposed to play for England against Poland, but the FA didn't clear the red tape beforehand so he couldn't go. Something about him having played for Finland's U21 already. Apparently he's committed to England and will be called up over the next international break.

The problem with he, Chamakh, Squillaci and others is they don't seem to have any inclination to take a dip in wages for regular playing time. We were practically giving them away all summer and no one bit. Would be surprised if they left in January. Hopefully some team gets desperate.

Not yet, but it's on the to do list. I read a lot of the articles you post and they are always quality. But with med school I have to pick and choose, and I'm trying (without complete success) to stay on -task. :-/
